[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the advantages and disadvantages of membership in the European Union for these two countries, emphasizing the first few months of euro trading. Luxembourg never has been large enough either in size or wealth to be considered as a 'power' of Europe, but like the businessman who finds a niche and fills it, Luxembourg appears to be poised to gather great gains from EU membership. France has other issues with which to deal. The national ideology is so different from much of the rest of Europe that France likely will have difficulties adjusting, but the promise of greater economic prosperity will make any necessary transition less painful for them.
